Arizona Birthers Forms “Posse” To Investigate President Obama

The Birthers are back, or maybe they just never left.

Even after President Obama officially put an end to the nonsense of Birtherism by providing the very document they’ve asked for since he walked into office, some people just can’t accept the fact that this Black man is living in the White House.

Arizona Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, has decided to form a posse – a five member group called the Cold Case Posse – to investigate the President’s birth, his birth certificate, or his certificate of live birth…whatever you want to call it, Arpaio’s posse will investigate it. Arpaio says the citizens of  Maricopa County demand this investigation be done.

“This investigation does not involve politics,” Arpaio told WND. “I listen to all the residents of Maricopa County who come to my office with complaints, regardless what their politics are.

“My door is open to everyone, and I don’t kick them out. If a complaint is legitimate, I don’t dump it into the wastebasket,” he continued. “When I get allegations brought to me by the citizens of Maricopa County, I look into the allegations, just like I am doing here.”

Arpaio is responding to a complaint brought to his office by representatives of the Surprise Tea Party in Surprise, Ariz., who have expressed in writing their concerns that the voting rights of Maricopa County residents in the 2012 presidential election could be compromised if Obama were to use a forged birth certificate to establish his eligibility under Article 1, Section 2, of the Constitution.

“The Cold Case Posse is a good place to put this investigation,” Arpaio said. “The individuals on this posse have been sworn in by me and I have granted them the authority required to conduct this investigation.”

Arpaio explained to WND that in the final analysis, all decisions stop with him.

“I will have the ultimate authority to decide,” he emphasized. “I gave the Cold Case Posse the authority to investigate, but the results of their investigation ultimately come to me and I will then decide how best to proceed from there.”

I wonder what else this posse would want to see as proof that Barack Obama is an American? Every possible item that can be given as proof of his citizenship has been provided, but he and the citizens of Maricopa County aren’t satisfied yet.

I remember the years they hounded President Bush for his proof of citizenship…oh wait…this wasn’t an issue then as he set off to destroy America’s economy. As a matter of fact, this has never been an issue since George Washington’s inauguration. But then again, all the Presidents before Mr. Obama, have been white.

First Truthers, Then Birthers. Now, They’re The Deathers

Anything this president does will always be criticized by Republicans and those calling themselves conservatives. These folks will criticize Mr. Obama to the point where they form groups and eventually command the attention of the national media. We saw it happen with the Truthers, and recently The Birthers. Now, the same is happening for those who question whether Osama Bin Laden is really dead. They’re calling themselves, The Deathers and yes, they have a facebook page.

Now the average person with some common sense would question the sensibility of those who would join this group, but when you pay close attention to the comments of some of the members, one can’t help but wonder, either Republicans are really accomplishing their movement to dumb down Americans, or this is the biggest joke of the decade.

You decide for yourself!

Republicans Have Put The President On The Rhetorical Slave Auction Block

We’ve already heard the outcry from many Americans about the shame they felt when they watched President Obama succumb to the racism of the Birthers movement. The Reverend Al Sharpton and Professor Michael Eric Dyson expressed their thoughts on The Ed Show. And Mr. Dyson said it best;

Here is a man, Barack Obama. As brilliant as they come, as smart as any president has ever been, as articulate as any man has ever been to occupy that office. As well trained and well educated, and yet, well mannered, well behaved, civil. He has not been defensive, or nasty or vicious, and yet this man has been brought to the bar so to speak, to prove his humanity.

He’s been put up on the rhetorical auction block of Republican slave thinking, to be made to appear again as a victim to be examined, to see if he’s worthy or not of the legitimacy that they can confer.

David Letterman – I Think Donald Trump’s Actions Are Racist

Although Dr. Phill tried to defend his “friend” Donald Trump, on last night’s Late Night with David Letterman, the host did not feel Trump’s actions and choice of words over the last few months were appropriate. Mr. Letterman labeled Trump’s statements and actions as that of a racists, and suggests that Trump may not get any further invites to appear on his show, without first issuing an apology.

Responding to Phill’s claim that Donald Trump doesn’t “have a racist bone in his body,” Letterman says;

It’s not a pleasure to watch, and I would think that if he comes back on this show, and I’m not sure if we’ll want him back on the show under those circumstances, he ought to be prepared to apologize.”

To Shame Our President Is To Shame Our Nation – Video

A very emotional response to the unbelievable disrespect that the most powerful man in the world, the President Of The United States, suffered yesterday. Being subjected to the obvious racism of a small minority of so-called Americans, who simply cannot accept the fact that a black man won the presidential election and now, is the leader of the free world.

They think they’ve shamed the President, but in fact, these Birthers and racists, have shamed this nation… again!

Lawrence O’Donnell – “Orly Taitz Is A Crazy Person” – Video

The crazy woman who started the whole Birther movement, Orly Taitz,  appeared on The Lawrence O’Donnell Show last night. She was given a chance to apologize for the lie she successfully began, convincing almost half of all Republicans into believing that President Obama was born in Kenya, but instead side-stepped the question, creating a showdown between her and  O’donnell. And let me just say that my opinion of her as a crazy person is not mine alone, even O’ Donnell admitted to that fact after the interview abruptly ended, saying

“She’s crazy! I invited a crazy person on the show to see, if a crazy person faced with the thing that the crazy person was trying to get for 2 and a half years, could say something responsive, something new to the document that was released today. Something she’s never seen in her life. And she wants to play with all of her other kids toys, all of her other crazy documents.”

Well Lawrence, why would you expect anything else from a crazy person? She’s crazy for crying out loud!

President Obama To Birthers – Grow Up Already – Transcript

THE PRESIDENT:  Hello, everybody.  Now, let me just comment, first of all, on the fact that I can’t get the networks to break in on all kinds of other discussions — (laughter.)  I was just back there listening to Chuck — he was saying, it’s amazing that he’s not going to be talking about national security.  I would not have the networks breaking in if I was talking about that, Chuck, and you know it.

Q Wrong channel.  (Laughter.)

THE PRESIDENT:  As many of you have been briefed, we provided additional information today about the site of my birth. Now, this issue has been going on for two, two and a half years now.  I think it started during the campaign.  And I have to say that over the last two and a half years I have watched with bemusement, I’ve been puzzled at the degree to which this thing just kept on going.  We’ve had every official in Hawaii, Democrat and Republican, every news outlet that has investigated this, confirm that, yes, in fact, I was born in Hawaii, August 4, 1961, in Kapiolani Hospital.

We’ve posted the certification that is given by the state of Hawaii on the Internet for everybody to see.  People have provided affidavits that they, in fact, have seen this birth certificate.  And yet this thing just keeps on going.

Now, normally I would not comment on something like this, because obviously there’s a lot of stuff swirling in the press on at any given day and I’ve got other things to do.  But two weeks ago, when the Republican House had put forward a budget that will have huge consequences potentially to the country, and when I gave a speech about my budget and how I felt that we needed to invest in education and infrastructure and making sure that we had a strong safety net for our seniors even as we were closing the deficit, during that entire week the dominant news story wasn’t about these huge, monumental choices that we’re going to have to make as a nation.  It was about my birth certificate.  And that was true on most of the news outlets that were represented here.

And so I just want to make a larger point here.  We’ve got some enormous challenges out there.  There are a lot of folks out there who are still looking for work.  Everybody is still suffering under high gas prices.  We’re going to have to make a series of very difficult decisions about how we invest in our future but also get a hold of our deficit and our debt — how do we do that in a balanced way.

And this is going to generate huge and serious debates, important debates.  And there are going to be some fierce disagreements — and that’s good.  That’s how democracy is supposed to work.  And I am confident that the American people and America’s political leaders can come together in a bipartisan way and solve these problems.  We always have.

But we’re not going to be able to do it if we are distracted.  We’re not going to be able to do it if we spend time vilifying each other.  We’re not going to be able to do it if we just make stuff up and pretend that facts are not facts.  We’re not going to be able to solve our problems if we get distracted by sideshows and carnival barkers.

We live in a serious time right now and we have the potential to deal with the issues that we confront in a way that will make our kids and our grandkids and our great grandkids proud.  And I have every confidence that America in the 21st century is going to be able to come out on top just like we always have.  But we’re going to have to get serious to do it.

I know that there’s going to be a segment of people for which, no matter what we put out, this issue will not be put to rest.  But I’m speaking to the vast majority of the American people, as well as to the press.  We do not have time for this kind of silliness.  We’ve got better stuff to do.  I’ve got better stuff to do.  We’ve got big problems to solve.  And I’m confident we can solve them, but we’re going to have to focus on them — not on this.

Thanks very much, everybody.

END

Birtherism Continues Even After Official Document Is Released

World Net Daily, the conservative website that contributed heavily to spreading the birther conspiracy, found no consolation in President Obama releasing his official long form certificate today. The site continued without missing a beat, insisting now, that there must be some unexplained reason why the president waited all this time to release the document. This in, according to its website;

If the document proves valid, it could answer the questions raised by those who have alleged he was not actually born in Hawaii. But it also could prove his ineligibility because of its references to his father. Some of the cases challenging Obama have explained that he was a dual citizen through his father at his birth, and they contend the framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural born citizens

What else is a conservative website to do? The main issue they wrote about for almost three years just got blown out of the water and they’re left with nothing but made up junk and a credibility problem. So in an effort to explain to their readers that there is still something to be concerned about where this president is concerned, the editor of the website, Joseph Farah, felt the need to make this statement;

“We’re gratified that our work has begun to pay off,” he said. “The certificate of live birth is an absolutely vital foundation for determining constitutional eligibility of any president. We look forward to reviewing it like so many other Americans do at this late date. But it is important to remember there are still dozens of other questions concerning this question of eligibility that need to be resolved to assure what has become a very skeptical public concerning Barack Obama’s parentage, his adoption, his citizenship status throughout his life and why he continues to cultivate a culture of secrecy around his life.”

No matter what he does, it will never be enough to satisfy these… people!

Obama Issues Official Long Form Birth Certificate

It’s official…again.

Two years after President Obama first released the official birth certificate approved by the state of Hawaii, Donald Trump and his Birthers forced the non-issue of his citizenship. Today, President Obama has released the version of his birth certificate the Birthers wanted: The official Long Form Certificate Of Live Birth

But as the president said in his press conference, nothing he does will ever satisfy a small segment of Americans who, for whatever reason, will not accept the fact that he is a legitimate American president, born within these shores, but of a different skin color.

Now that their birther conspiracy has been officially laid to rest, Donald Trump is already working on another. He is now beginning to question how in the world could a black man get into one of the most prestigious colleges in the United States? I wonder what they will call this conspiracy? Affirmative Action is already taken.

Jan Brewer Officially Falls Off The Birther Bandwagon

Jan Brewer appeared on CNN this week to discuss her veto of the latest attempt by the Birthers movement to stop President Obama’s re-election campaign. The bill, if it was signed into law in Arizona would have required all elected officials to give proof of citizenship before their name would be allowed on the Arizona ballot. The proof, according to the legislation, would possibly include the candidate’s circumcision records, and was a direct shot at the Birthers claim that President Obama was not born in the United States.

“Well, you know, it seems to me that we have talked about this issue now going on probably two years, and that I believe that most people have reached out and they did their investigations, and it’s become such a huge distraction,” said Brewer. “I for one, I believe that what I have seen, and after speaking with governor — or the prior governor of Hawaii — that indeed he [Obama] was born in Hawaii.” She continued;

“It’s just something that I think is leading our country down a path of destruction, and it just is not serving any good purpose.

“It was a bridge way too far to give one person in the state of Arizona — a partisan person at that — the ability to keep a person off the ballot. And it wasn’t just the President of the United States — it was all the way down the path of allelected officials.

“So, it was something that I felt very uncomfortable with signing, having been a prior Secretary of State. And I think we just really need to move on. Everybody’s had two years to prove, if they wanted to, that he was not born in Hawaii. They haven’t come up with any of that kind of proof.

“So, it just seems to me that it’s more political rhetoric, and that it takes the ball off the kinds of subjects that we all ought to be discussing, and that would be jobs and the economy.”

This cannot be the same Jan Brewer who recently signed the racial profiling law in her state. It simply cannot be!

Investigation Finds President Obama Was Born In Hawaii

This case is closed. CNN has done what many other organizations have done, and they have found the same answer – that President Obama was in fact, born in Hawaii. The Birthers must be crazy!

The revelation, although everyone with a brain knew it to be true, must have come as a shock to the Birther community. The group, presented by every conceivable form of proof legally available, maintains that they know for a fact, that the president was born in Kenya. What proof do they have? …….um, well they’re still working on that.

So CNN has joined the long list of reputable news organizations to debunk this conspiracy. Is this going to make a difference to the Birthers? Nope. No one ever accused them of wanting anything to do with facts!

Presenting part 1 of CNN’s investigation.
